We're making a cylindrical long thin part with a slot thru both sides. Held in a collet in the rotary is the main fixture and it's supported by a tailstock. The part slides onto the main fixture and it's secured with a bushing and nut.
It's being made on a Haas VM-2 with a Rotary. Right now I'm putting M00s in to let me add/move a clamping fixture in two spots of the program.
I've seen videos of a machine that has a clamp built into it. Has anyone done this on a Haas? Pretty sure we have spare M codes.
Thanks
Chris
